Skateboards

Kara wants to get everyone skate boards.
Here's what she wants to get everyone....
Kara gets a princess skateboard.
Jason gets a Mickey skateboard.
Daddy gets a Giants skateboard.
And Mommy gets a Mommy skateboard.(I guess Mommy has no other interests but being a Mommy)

The best daddy...

So today after church, I say to Kara, "hurry get in your seat we have to go get daddys father's day present, because he is the best daddy in the world."
Kara says, "Mommy he's not the best daddy in the world." (long pause, I get kind of worried.) "hes the best daddy in the universe".
Sounds good!

The fair

Yesterday afternoon we headed out to the fair, of course it was the hottest day of the month so far. So after we got there we went to go on some rides and it was just to hot to stand in the sun. So off to the buildings we went so Kara could collect her backpack full of free stuff from the CHP and other booths. After that we went and listened to some music on one of the stages and Kara got some good dance moves in. People were laughing and watching her, Jason joined her for one song too.
By then it was time to hit the Ferris wheel. Kara had been talking about wanting to ride the Ferris wheel. So she and Tim went up and around. I'm not sure if Tim was as big of a fan as she was. Then Kara spotted the goldfish game. So I gave her $1 and she got 5 balls to throw. The 5th one was the winner! So we now have "dory" to go with "nemo" from last fair's fish. (although Nemo is the replacement from the fish that died after we brought him home last year, but don't tell Kara)
Back to the kids area we went, where we meet up with Grandma and Papa, and the kids got to ride some more rides. Tim was taking Jason on a roller coaster so I took her to the fun house, the funny thing is she stands by the measuring thing for every ride and waits to see if she is big enough. So she goes in the fun house, and comes out, some of the kids she was just in there with were going back in so I said yes she could go too. She had to stand and measure up again, though. This went on like 8 or 9 times, each time she would measure up and wait to be told she could go in, until the last one she said, "I'm big enough" and just walked in. The lady working thought she was the funniest thing.
Then it was off to ride the motorcycles. At the end of the ride, one little boy yells, "I'm the winner". Kara yells "no she's the winner" and points to the girl in front of her. Then the boy yells something back, Kara gets off her motorcycle and proceeds to go over and tell him how he didn't win. So funny!
We topped off the whole day with fair food, yum!

if, ands & buts...

Ahh...
It's been a long week. We had our sonogram last Thursday and found out the baby is a girl, and the lady said "you won't be coming to me telling me I was wrong", which gave me confidence that we won't have one of those oops,it's a boy moments at the hospital. Now for names.....tricky....suggestions will be taken. I like Madden Elizabeth or just Elizabeth or Paige....Tim likes none of the above....:)

After much thought we decided to give away our puppy, but she went to a great home where she will roam 6 acres of land and go on hikes everyday to a creek. Makes it easier to let her go.

I am excited to get back to a normal routine, I feel like things have been crazy busy lately but maybe they will slow down? Not likely.....

Tim and I made a todo list for our house. We are getting ready to paint inside the house this week and hopefully prepare to paint the outside. After that maybe stain the concreate out front, put up a new fence, get Jason into a big bed, move the crib to the baby's room, maybe put in new flooring, get new windows for the 3 single pane ones left..... oh did I start rambling?

I have been missing my favortie shows, so I have gotten hooked on the "little couple" and "18 kids and counting" and of course "Jon&kate", but that's starting to make me sad.

ok that all my ramblings for the night, I need to get some sleep .....
I am going to post some pictures from my mini vacation soon.....
